will this pot work on induction cook-top?

Most older Farberware pots do not work on induction cooktops because the bottoms are not magnetic. Only pots with magnetic bottoms will function at all on induction cooktops. It is not the flatness, it is the degree to which a magnet sticks. If the cooktop becomes hot when you turn it on and there is no pot on it, then it is not an induction cooktop. An induction cooktop only creates heat in the metal bottom of the pot and not in the cooktop itself, which is why it saves money and time to get an induction cooktop.

I believe any pot with a flat bottom will work on this type of cooktop. I have this pan and use it.

It will, but not as well as pots designed for it. Stainless design allows for much higher temps and rough utencils that teflon coated cant' handle

Does thid induction cooktop have the right diameter of cooking heat distribution for the pan? Is that distribution controllable? I test the heat distribution by boiling water the day I get my pots and pans.

I have a whole set of Farberware and it works very well on my induction cook-top.

I believe these pots should work with all types of stoves, including glass/ceramic cooktops with no problems.

This is a valid question for someone looking to buy cookware for an induction burner. PLEASE do not answer this question unless you really know what you're talking about!!! Some people don't know what an induction burner is and think anything that isn't electric coil or gas is an induction. It is NOT. The very easiest way to to tell if a pan will work is to see if a magnet will stick to the bottom. If it does, it will work with induction burners.

It goes inside a stock pot, so if your stock pot works on an induction top you should be ok.

Mine works on my induction cooktop, it is stainless steel, has been working on it for 2 years.

I don't have an induction cooktop but I looked it up for you. Yes, you can use this pot with an induction stovetop. The pot material is actually anodized steel.

I don't think so. These pots have an aluminum encapsulated base which should not be used with induction cooktops. You need cast iron, enamel or stainless steel cookware. And even if it were compatible, I would not recommend them at all. The price looked good to me, but now that I'm having to replace them a year later, I wish I'd spent the extra $50 for something better.

I checked on the Tefal online webpage and found that Tefal pot is Induction-compatible Stainless Steel base. So it will work on induction cooktop. http://www.tefal.com/Cookware-%26-Kitchenware/Pots-%26-Pans/Robust-and-longlasting/Talent/p/R-talent

This is a solid steel griddle. It should work just fine on an induction cooktop.

Other commenter is correct. I tested with a magnet also and it did not stick, therefore this pot will not work with induction.

No, induction cookware only works with iron cookware...and maybe some stainless steel. I purchased several pieces of ceramic coated iron cookware to use with my induction cooktop.

I'm not sure. I don't have an induction stove. You'll have to contact the manufacturer of the pan.

I don't have an induction cooktop so I can't be sure. But from what I've read a pot will work if a magnet will cling to the bottom. On the pot I purchased a magnet will cling to the bottom. If a magnet will cling to the pot you have now, the one that won't work on the cooktop, then probably the new pot won't work either. But if your pot is not magnetic, then I say the new pot should work.

I do not know about induction cook tops. I bought it to place on top of our coal stove , there it works great.

This poacher is full cladded stainless steel on the bottom. I really don't have any experience with induction cooktops. It should work unless your top requires special pots. This is a high grade pot, but I only cook with gas. Sorry I could not be more helpful

I have a ceramic top stove so I don't know if it would work on an induction stove but I can't think of any reason that it wouldn't.

Yes, I use mine on my induction glass cooktop, and it works beautifully. Do regulate the temperature carefully, as you don't want a big heavy pan rocking on a glass top. And as Whitney also mentioned, be careful transferring the heavy, filled pot, so you don't break your glass.

I don't know. I don't have an induction cooktop so I've never tried to use it on one.
